Denver, CO shot for World Wide Moment by Allen Klosowski
I shot the above image of Denver off my balcony for the World Wide Moment project. It is a project which is aiming at capturing a Worldwide Moment of Peace on 09.09.09 at 9:09:09 by receiving simultaneous photographs from 10,000 people all over the world!
This includes at least one photograph from someone in every country in the World. Then they want to exhibit them. All together. As a reminder of what’s possible, if only for a moment.
Here’s what they did on 08.08.08 at 8:08 – it’s pretty incredible.
World Wide Moment 08.08.08
It’s an ambitious project, and it needs your help. We need more photographers in more locations to get the project up to it’s goal. You are that photographer – and amateurs and pros are all invited.
Getting started is easy. There is a “mini” World Wide Moment every Tuesday from now until 09.09.09. They’ve got a Facebook account with almost 4,000 members, plus a website, a you can follow them on twitter.
It’s just that easy, and a lot of fun too! Won’t you join us?
Once you’ve taken your picture, just email it to Brett at World Wide Moment, and include a brief synopsis of what was happening in the picture, and where it was taken. I can’t wait to see what your moment looks like.
This is a very neat idea!
Hi,I used to work in DT Denver at what used to the Security Life bldg and the Amoco Bldg. That neighborhood of yours looks familiar. But in my day (70′s) there weren’t places to live down there. How much it’s changed! Can you tell me any of the streets/buildings that I’m looking at so I can get an idea of where things are? It’s all changed so much, the last time I was there, I couldn’t even find the Security Life Building! In my day, it dominated the skyline. I enjoyed your photo very much! Thanks for the memories, er…sort of.
Cool! I’ll pass this on to the dozen or so photogs I know and, maybe snap a one myself. Thx for the heads up!
Laurel, this image was shot from the top of the Chamber of Commerce building built in 1910 – which has now been converted into lofts. There are lots of places to live in Denver now, a thriving community of people who inhabit the town after all the tourists and business people leave. It’s quite fun actually.
This shot was West facing from approximately 18th & Champa. Where is the Security Life Building? Maybe I can make that my next shot.
Lesley, thanks so much! Most photographers I’ve talked to have been really excited about the project. And I think the 09.09.09 moment will be huge too. I’m excited about getting it displayed in a gallery as well. I appreciate you passing along the word.
